We all dress accordingly and none of us froze. I didn't have any heated wear so the only problem I had was my fingertips got cold. Heading home tomorrow.
I was on my way to meet Jay in Bristol heading up Hwy 25 and I could see the fire on the side of the mountain in NC yesterday. Where we're at now in VA there is no fires that we're aware of. We stopped in a store and there was US Forestry fire trucks in the area however. One was from New Mexico. I didn't realize they would travel this far but I guess they do. Down where I live in Anderson SC there is smoke hovering around from all the fires. The wind is blowing all the smoke in that direction. Its kind of eerie looking. Bill took some pictures yesterday that had rings around the setting sun. Must be the smoke causing the effect.
They have some fire going on around look out Mt and in Marion county which is above Chattanooga but not close to where I live Wendy told me they had a couple on the skyway on the NC side the other day
